Then again no-one seemed to bother with that in Washington or even NYC.
Seeing such high concentration of flags was annoying... though not as much as the countless "God Bless America" roadside billboard posters we drove past... :rolleyes:
With out a single reply i was banned from making any more posts!
But i could still see everyone else talking and all i could see was every one saying how God blesses america more then any other nation and always has done.
Where shall we invade next?
Then for the summer, (longest 6 weeks of my life) the rich jewish kids aka JAPS were at camp and they were just so arrogant and really did believe that America was just untouchable and had no clue about Europe or the UK! but then i didnt know much about their way of life and views until i went there, so its not fair to say all America Kids are stupid, besides they were rich, they didnt need to be smart!
You probably came over some time close to 2001, right? Or you might've come over when it was one of those federal holidays where they give you a free flag.
As to paying teachers by test results so they would care, I think it would be better if we could get the kids to care.
my cousin who lives over there says its mostly like that all year round
That said, it's the same in pretty much every country. It's just the idiotic Americans seem to get a lot more worldwide exposure (eg. by becoming President).
Born, raised, and live there.
Nice to know.
But you can't deny that a lot of Americans are very generalising. It's kinda like they think Americans are the only people who vary.
PS: I was in a piss when I wrote my initial post.
Coming from the person who said all American kids were stupid and know nothing of the outside World.
Did you read all my post you fucking dumbass?
That will get you in trouble.
Yes, kids can be immature - there's nothing you can do about it. Some kids are more, some kids are less. Heck, you're being immature right now. So am I.
The thing is, you're coming across as very hostile at the moment, and you do seem to have a short fuse. Lol, you should have seen a thread I made, called "Custom Title". I was annihilated there, I tell you.
Chill out and debate passively is all I say. Why categorise the kids you have met as american kids? Kids are kids, and a lot of them are stupid and know nothing of the world.
Never been there.
So since everybody is disagreeing with what the OP said and you call those people ignorant morons, are you agreeing with the original post?
See, I'm a bit on the retarded side, being a yank and all
haha and my_name, yankee in an interesting term, the southern US calls northern people yankees, everyone in the north calls people from new york yankees.. its a mess.
That said Americans can be very cool people like everyone else, their government brings their reputation down and tends to make ppl generalise... but like someone said earlier...the competition was just as shit so they were fucked either way =/
Oh I did not know that. Cool. Damn hic southners
haha, i bet the kids burninginme talked about were from the south :yes:
kiddingg, though i think we should hijack this thread into a have fun with stereotypes thread
I went to Arkansas once. God knows why... On the way from our condo to the rest of the god forsaken state we drove by an albino donkey every day. Really made the trip fun
But you want steryotypes, I saw them. Total shacks. Broken cars filled the lawns. People sitting outside on rockers on their "porch" I saw a broken bus on blocks in some guys yard.
However outside of that it was quite a pretty place. And damn friendly people. Too friendly for my liking
And to make such a fictitious generalisation you must be pretty stupid yourself. Although I think that’s been pretty clearly established.
Speaking to a few American kids who spout off on forums or whatever hardly qualifies what you’re saying.
Indeed, you’re as ignorant as the Americans you’re criticising. You’re unable to comprehend that the US is a vast and extremely diverse country that encompasses a wide range of different ethnicities, political viewpoints and attitudes. Whilst some of your comments might be vaguely relevant to some parts of particular American states they’re certainly not applicable to others. There’s a pretty big contrast in education and outlook between say Massachusetts and Alabama for example.
Because Brits are so informed aren't they? America isn't perfect but neither is Britain and anybody that has the generalised and indiscriminate view of an entire nation as you do clearly is pretty ignorant of that country and its people.
dont you think you are being a bit hypocritical in saying that we are all morons when you have just been slating the original poster for generalising?
And I have also found that a lot of young Americans know and want to know very little of anything outside their beloved country. However i have met some lovely, intelligent, well informed people from there (e.g my employer, although she frequently renounces her american roots in shame
But one thing that does get me is why people actually voted for an ex cocaine addict who has been bankrupt more than once, and only went into politics after he realised he didnt have his daddy's flair for business. (Bush) and who, in his first hour meeting with the prince of saudi arabia (or someone very rich and powerful in that region, I may be showing my ignorance here), had to have the whole israeli/ palestinian conflict explained to him by the prince because he had not understood. And he choked on a pretzel. ANd I would never vote for tony blair. ANd sorry for my rant.
A lot of kids are stupid or uneducated or whatever. For example, a lot of kids living in cities in the UK, when asked, didn't know that milk came from cows or that eggs came from chickens. Pretty "stupid", huh?
I did as it happens, and it seems to me (and virtually everyone else) that you are pointlessly generalising on the basis of talking to a few kids on the internet.
This has to be the most intelligent post I've read in this thread.
Burninginme - please take note. What was it you said in one of your posts in another thread "let's talk like civil adults?" It would be good to practice what you preach.
